If you were to go to a new town, you would begin to develop an
understanding of the characteristics of the community by the type of
people you met, the style of architecture you noticed, as well as
the kind of shops and activities available. Our community at
Cornerstone also has some characteristics that define who we are. We
call them our values. They tell you how we do what we do.
The Cornerstone
Community
. . .
COMPLETE
DEPENDENCE ON GOD (Mt.
7:7,8;
Dan. 6:23;
Heb. 11:32-34): We believe that God desires us to pray and fully
depend upon Him.
ORIGINALITY
(Gen.
1:1): We believe that our God is a creative God who desires us
to reflect his creativity.
MAINTAIN
DIGNIFIED RELEVANCE (I
Cor. 9:19-23): We believe that we must relate to our community
through a relevant and practical service that still maintains the
dignity and integrity of Christ's church.
MULTIPLE
SMALL GROUPS (Acts
2:46,47;
Acts 5:42;
Rom. 16:5): We believe that the most effective setting for
people to mature and experience biblical "one another" fellowship is
through small group relationships.
ULTIMATE
EFFORT (Col.
3:23): We believe that we have the responsibility to serve the
Lord with the full capacity of our abilities.
NAVIGATE
LIFE BY THE BIBLE (2
Tim. 3:16): We believe that the Bible is God's Inspired Word and
it is to serve as the foundation for all that we do and teach. We
also believe that it is relevant and should be taught practically.
INCLUSIVE
ATTITUDE OF LOVE AND ACCEPTANCE
(Mt.
9:9-13;
Rom. 15:7): We believe that God cares for all people and as the
church we are committed to authentically loving as Christ loved.
TEAM
MINISTRY (Eph.
4:11-13): We believe that it is the responsibility of every
member to be a minister in the work of the church.
YOUR
FAMILY IS OUR FAMILY (Eph.
2:19;
1 Pet. 2:5;
Eph. 5:22-6:4): We believe that the church is a family of
families and we are committed to developing families by building
stronger marriages and helping parents raise godly children.
